The Leftovers: The Complete Second Season On Blu-Ray And Digital Copy Review

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.




More than three years ago, 2% of the world’s population inexplicably vanished. 140 million people, gone in an instant. No country, no state, no city was spared, except for one small town in eastern Texas. Population: 9261. Departures: Zero. This is the setting for a tale of two families: the Garveys, who have moved to this special place, and whose lives were forever changed by the Departure, and the Murphys, a local family, who seem to have been spared from an event that shook the rest of the world. But even in the town of Miracle, you can’t escape your past. This “immersive, deeply satisfying drama” (Jen Chaney, Esquire) delivers profound mystery, heart-pounding action, shocking controversy and startling beauty in all 10 gripping Season Two episodes.

Own it on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital HD February 9, 2016


MY THOUGHTS

I reviewed the first season last year and I did like enjoy it.  
Season 2 I found to be just as good as season one and I have to say that I marathoned this show for most of the day I had received The leftovers The Complete Second Season because I didn't want to stop watching.

I do absolutely recommend this show. It is different from anything else I have watched on Tv and it is very well .

I give this 4 out of 5.




Spectre on Blu-ray/DVD/Digital HD Review


The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.

In SPECTRE, a cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.

Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr. White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.

As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.

Sam Mendes returns to direct SPECTRE, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as 007 for the fourth time. The film is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The screenplay is by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Jez Butterworth, with a story by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade.

MY THOUGHTS

Well I am a big fan of James Bond movies so ofcourse I had to watch this one and I have to say it did not dissapoint.  Just like all other James Bond movies this one is action packed and it kept me and my husband entertained.  
I love Daniel  Craig as James Bond and I think Spectre is my favourite so far with him .  
If you are a fan of the James Bond movies than I think you will be enjoying this one.

I give this movie 5 out of 5

Spectre is now avaliable on Blu-ray/Dvd and digital HD to purchase .

Major Crimes :The Complete Fourth Season Comes Out On DVD May 24, 2016

MAJOR CRIMES: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON






The fourth electrifying season of Major Crimes finds the elite team of investigators facing some of their most challenging criminal cases yet. The division is led by department head Captain Sharon Raydor, portrayed by Oscar® nominee Mary McDonnell (Dances with Wolves, Battlestar Galactica). The unit is comprised of Lieutenant Provenza (G.W. Bailey, The Closer, M*A*S*H, Police Academy), Lieutenant Andy Flynn (Tony Denison, The Closer, Crime Story), Lieutenant Mike Tao (Michael Paul Chan, The Closer, Arrested Development), Detective Julio Sanchez (Raymond Cruz, The Closer, Training Day), Detective Amy Sykes (Kearran Giovanni, One Life to Live), tech expert and reserve police officer Buzz Watson (Phillip P. Keene, The Closer, The D.A.), Dr. Morales (Jonathan Del Arco, The Closer, Nip/Tuck) and Assistant Chief Russell Taylor (Robert Gossett, The Closer, Arlington Road). Deputy Chief Fritz Howard (recurring guest star Jon Tenney, The Closer, King & Maxwell) also lends a hand as head of the Special Operations Bureau.

During the fourth gripping season of Major Crimes, our favorite squad of detectives is put in charge of solving a series of intriguing new cases. The unit investigates a double homicide that’s related to an ongoing string of home invasions in the Hollywood Hills; a dead body that comes out of the trunk of a crashed car at the end of a police chase; the murder of a super model; a YouTube video of a bloody, partially naked man walking down a street which goes viral; the deaths of four wealthy people who are killed during a high-stakes poker game; a murder that happens during the taping of a reality competition show; the death of a young man who was pushed off the top of a parking structure and several other fascinating cases.  As season four unfolds, Captain Sharon Raydor’s adopted son, Rusty Beck (Graham Patrick Martin, The Closer, Two and a Half Men), finds a passion that drives him, investigative journalism, as he works to uncover the identity of a murdered runaway.  It’s an exciting season filled with captivating cases and engaging stories about the lives of the officers and prosecutors whose job is to deal with LA’s most high profile and sensitive crimes.

“With its thought-provoking storylines and stellar cast, Major Crimes keeps viewers coming back for more. Each new season is more outstanding than the last,” said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, TV Marketing. She added, “We’re excited to offer consumers another season of this remarkable series.”

I think these are perfect to send to someone on their birthday or just to cheer someone up 


This toque ( to you Americans out there that is how we call beanies) is just so adorable.
I haven't had the chance to wear it yet because it hasn't been
cold enough but I will as soon as it gets cold enough


Pusheen t-shirt.  I love t-shirts but personally this isn't a shirt I will wear
so I am giving it to one of my sisters


Isn't this travel mug cute?  This is sometime I have already used a few
 times and I know I will be using it often in the future


Aren't these erasers so cute?  I never use erasers so I am going to be
giving these to my niece.  I know she will love them .




Re-useable pocket warmer.  I haven't used this yet but I will soon

Well, there you have it folks.  All the cute products that came in the first Pusheen box.  Did I like this box?

January 2016 Geek Fuel Review

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.




What is Geek Fuel? Geek Fuel is a subscription box in the geek and gamer category. What can you expect in the subscription boxes?  Geek Toys, Collectibles, Downloadable Games , T-Shirts, Action Figures ,Exclusive Movie Posters , Comics & More.

Here is the link to where you can find how much the subscription boxes cost .  Anyone who clicks through (and subscribed) using my link and subscribes to  receives a bonus item. 


Here is what was inside January 2016's box: 

A sneak peak to what I saw when i opened the box




Geek Fuel had a contest going on. You could win a Xbox One, The Flash season 1
on Bluray and a game. Unfortunately I didn't win




Geek Fuel magazine.  



A Brief History Of Time Travel t-shirt.   I was disappointed in this one
because I had received the same shirt (but in a different colour) in
January 2015 but I gave this one to my husband because he wanted it.



The Flash Starlabs  Coffee mug.  This is my favourite item in this box.
 I already used it a few times



Resident Evil's Umbrella Corp pin. 



MetroWarp computer game.  I like that a lot of their Steam codes
are for both PC and Mac.



Jakku Comic-con poster. Personally I don't like getting posters in subscription box.
I have received many and most end up in the garbage.



Super Mario Mint. I love these and look at the shape of the mint!!  


January's box was my least favourite so far.  I am not a fan of posters or pins. As you all know, I have been reviewing Geek Fuel boxes since January 2015. Usually in subscription boxes like these there are a few boxes I didn't like much but in the year I have been reviewing Geek Fuel boxes this is the first box I feel could have been much better.It is mostly because the t-shirt was one that I already have.
